Wow, we are all so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a couple (or more) MaiTai's and really feel good about your historic accomplishment. Anyone can be proud of finishing a Transpac, but you guys did it the hard way. I am posting your photo on a couple disability web sites so everyone can see. Hurry home to San Diego so we can really have a celebration!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done to all of you.

The delivery crew is ready and will be in Honolulu Sunday, 7/20, via Hawaiian Airlines ariving at 1140.

Is there anything we need to bring along becuse of race damage?

I have an important question. Josh, we did speak before you left about there being a satelite phone aboard for the delivery, is this still the case? I need to be able to call back to San Diego to arange final airline tickets to get the delivery crew home.

Subject: inspirational, to say the least

Hi again. I forgot to tell you that my boss at East Cty. Mental Health Center asked me to make copies of what your all about and put it in the waiting area for our patients to see, so that they can read about you and what you've accomplished. She, my boss, was so inspired, she thought our patients could learn a lot about determination and team work. Anyway, WOW, can't wait to celebrate with you. Thanaks for letting us contribute. We watched you all the way. Love, Lynne of Yacht Aware.
